The Serpent Audio Splice 500 MKII Stereo Compressor combines two Splice 500 MKII 500-Series Compressor with a Serpent 500-Series Power Rack, creating a turnkey stereo compression solution that's ready for professional mixing and mastering environments.
Whether you're shaping a drum bus, tightening stereo guitars, gluing backing vocals together, or adding punch and attitude across a mix bus, this stereo system delivers the unmistakable character of classic FET compression while offering a level of flexibility that vintage designs simply can't match. Each Splice 500 MKII faithfully recreates the tone and behavior of both the legendary Blackface and vintage Bluestripe FET compressor circuits, while also allowing you to combine the input and output stages for two exclusive hybrid modes unique to the Splice design. Linked together for true stereo operation, the pair maintains rock-solid stereo imaging while providing integrated parallel compression, selectable sidechain high-pass filtering, variable attack and release controls, and the aggressive "Slam" mode inspired by the famous "all-buttons-in" compression effect. Housed in a dedicated Serpent Audio 1U dual-slot powered chassis, this package arrives fully configured for stereo operation, making it an ideal solution for engineers who want premium analog bus compression without sourcing separate modules and rack hardware. Designed and built in the USA with exceptional craftsmanship, it's equally at home in commercial studios, mastering rooms, and serious project studios looking for world-class analog dynamics processing.
